Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

2026 construction plus paid on-site and free-area options

What to do
About 700 on-site spaces cost $7 each, with approximately 2,000 more spaces at nearby businesses and public lots, many free. The current parking page supports prepaying the East End lot near the Home Plate Gate.
Best option
Use the prepaid East End option when a predictable Home Plate Gate approach matters, or identify a legitimate nearby public lot before departure. Accessible spaces cost $7 by card and are first come.
Avoid
Do not rely on the older facility-page $5 parking sentence; the dedicated current parking and A-Z pages say $7. Do not ignore the 2026 Indian Street and Patrick Road detours.

Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

2026 detour changes approach

The Home Plate Gate lots remain unaffected by the 2026 construction, and both gates provide drop-off, pickup, and elevators. Save the preferred gate before entering the detour area.

02

Mixed

$7 card-only parking

The official current facility page describes named areas such as the Northern Lights Pavilion, Shoreline Box, and Lasorda's Landing but does not publish one current fixed baseball capacity. Use the live ticket map for inventory and sightline choices.

03

Positive

Bags searched, no size posted

Dow Diamond is cashless, with cash-to-card machines behind Sections 105 and 109. The park includes 12 suites, two outfield firepits, Lou E's Lookout play area, and elevators at both gates.
